Archaeology Notes

NH66NW 34.09 Centred 6200 6675

About 100m to the SW of the Admiralty type 'F' Hangar (NH66NW 34.01) and still occupied, are the married quarters for the airfield. Grouped around a half-square and harled they are in good condition.

Immediately behind this group of buildings are two rows of wooden huts, now empty, but until recently occupied. These were the WAAF barracks during the period when the airfield was under military command.

Visited by RCAHMS (DE) Janaury and May 1997
